Taking His Time

It has taken quite a bit of time for Obama to fully staff the Treasury; I don't know whether it is now fully staffed. I doubt it. I also think that there are other departments that are short of staff. The Center for Public Integrity has found that the administration is still short of agency watchdogs, which are usually given the title of Inspector General. There are 73 jobs of this type in the federal government, 15 are still vacant after more than 15 months in office. Among the agencies without an IG are State, CIA, EPA and Labor. And the GAO, which looks at all the federal agencies, has had an acting head for two years.

What is the problem? Are they looking for saints?
